| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set, users are advised to carefully consider the year of publication (2008 for bauxite mining and 2017 for alumina production), as changes in technology and environmental regulations might have occurred since then. To accurately interpret the LCA data, it is recommended to refer to the technological applications relevant to the time period of the data. Users should integrate this data with current and localized LCA data to ensure the accuracy of their assessments. When modeling the use phase behavior, factor in the specific requirements of the aluminum production process. Pay attention to methodological guidelines on the inclusion or exclusion of recycling processes where applicable. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set pertains to the process of bauxite mining and alumina production which is the initial stage in the production of aluminum. Bauxite is the primary raw material used in the manufacture of aluminum metal and is extracted from the earth through mining. After mining, bauxite is refined into alumina or aluminum oxide, which in turn is used to produce aluminum by the process of smelting. This data set is relevant for stakeholders involved in the mining sector, aluminum production industry, and any related fields requiring inputs of bauxite and alumina in their processes. |
